Day 1859: A bounty of beauty


Hotlanta





Ruffled Truffle


Sweet Paddy


The lilies have never been more bountiful or the gardens more beautiful.



The book has progressed to mock up number five.
All the photos have been placed along with the captions. 
I did the first line by line edit and typed pages of items to correct.  
Not all were my errors.  Many had to do with spacing, titles, text boxes and 
photo credits.  I spent about twenty hours last week after the kids left on Wednesday night.  
  At Penelope this week, Carolyn asked for my timeline.
Hmmm....I'm shooting for August 1 to have all the editing done.
 I've asked my artist son for help, but of course, he's just so busy.  
I may have to hire a professional cover designer instead.
Although I have a concept in mind, I do not have the skills to produce a captivating cover.
So, would the end of September or the beginning of October be a reasonable date for release? 
We'll see.



On our last day together, we went to Burnham's Hollow for a picnic
and cooked hotdogs and beans over a small campfire.  It's our long time tradition and the place holds 
a special place in our family history.  Colin and April stand here in the exact spot where they were
married almost nine years ago.  It's always hard to say goodbye, but we were grateful for the time we had together.
